About Me
italki teacher since Jan 29, 2014InterestsPets & AnimalsFoodMedical & HealthcareTravelEnvironment & Nature
I love gardening, especially using indigenous plants, we have such a rich variety of plant species in South Africa. I have studied garden design and enjoy helping friends to redesign their gardens. I love animals and zoology was one of my favourite subjects to study. I recently raised a puppy as a guide/service dog and have never been without a pet of my own. During the 70s and 80s, I traveled extensively in Europe. I have been to Japan, Hong Kong, Nepal, Thailand and Sri Lanka too. I enjoy reading, these days mostly novels, but can lose myself in any literature concerning the conservation of nature. I have worked in many different areas; law, engineering, medical (human and animal).
I have been teaching English online for over thirteen years. My lessons range from informal to formal, at the same time I want my students to be relaxed during a lesson and to trust me in my ability to advance their English level at a pace that is comfortable for them. However, I do insist that my students are serious about their studies. Unfortunately, I do not teach youngsters under the age of 15.
I admire my tenacious students who work so hard to achieve their goals. I tailor make my lessons to suit my student's needs. I have many grammar lessons which I have prepared that focus on the common mistakes English learners from different parts of the world make. During discussions we cover many different topics. For test preparation, I expect my students to work hard to achieve over and above...My teaching material

From the beginning of the trial lesson I felt very welcomed by Leigh. She seems to be a well experienced teacher with deep understanding of the challenges a non-native speaker is facing. I look forward to the next lesson and am ready to get pushed out of my comfort zone.
